Math discussions in decimals

J&A working on Singapore Math 4B in the evening.

 

 Kellen had a wonderful learning day today! I pulled out some old workbooks and Rod & Staff books.for him. He sat for so long, absorbed in his coloring. He even chose another color than red!! He is interested in tracing the letters and identifies all of the basic colors.He is naming animals and classifying!

 Today our schooling went so well. The sun was shining and the children were accommodating. Baby fell asleep at noon and we were able to take a bite out of our studies. Mary did her TTextbooks and Aidan and \I| worked through finishing his first Lesson in French. Not surprisingly he is very good at recollecting the words and we had some good conversations in answering the questions and sorting out the vous and tu of it!

There was even a lovely song to listen to on the CD that comes with the manuals. We will be doing some quizzes in the near future. .dun, dun, dun, dun !

 

 

Above you can see Aidan sitting with his new reader Bridges and Beyond. It is a big deal for us in this house when we reach a new Level in our CLP books. Lvel 4 promises to be right up Aidan's Alley. it is a historical sweep of America including the pony Express, the chinking of log cabins

Mary is always really willing to work that extra lesson and to finish off things and is working on her LA unit book to get it done!  Mary was helping her brother today with his letters and coloring and really being patient and mentoring him. .. A really great day!!
